This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
The result is that code asking for filesystem.isValid() gets false [because the writeable-jfs' system name is empty]. The method should return false if the filesystem is not fully usable - like you have conflicting fs names in the Repository.
Fixed in [main trunk] (NB52)
Resolved for 3.4 or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
